A nice quiet morning at the Terra Venture Youth Center. Kim was working away behind the bar. Thankfully it was a slow day when Tyra walked in with a seven year old girl in tow.

"Well the Zordonian Team got off safely. Christine offered to watch Aisha. I have a feeling that she misses Aisha," Tyra informed her former leader.

"I can see why," Kim said knowing the truth about Aisha’s birth.

"Mom, when will we be eating?" the seven year old asked.

"Soon as Kim gives us a menu T.J.," Tyra answered.

Kim grabbed two small electronic pads and handed one to each customer. T.J.’s has a series of pictures on hers along with the words where as Tyra’s was your standard menu with written descriptions of the dishes. T.J. simply ordered up a hot dog and fries but Tyra chose a more complex meal.

"Tyra, do you think you’ll miss being back on the battlefield since you had chosen not to take a morpher?" Kim asked.

"Not really. Professor Damon needs all the help he can get with I/Oca on vacation and Aphrealle off with the Zordonian Rangers. I admit Dr. Cummings is a big help but Christine and I really need to be on hand since Dr. Cummings isn’t familiar with how the zords work. I’m trying to think who isn’t available for battle," Tyra said.

"Let me think for a minute. I don’t think we can count on Sue. Brianca and Jim are both on Eltare. God I sure miss him," Kim said remembering how her ex boyfriend used to be. "Also Sean is now on the Council. Of any of the Rangers I know which is the Geo Rangers, the Zordonian Rangers, and our team Sean is the last person I would have expected to end up on the council. Teri, Sylvia, and Kenya are busy with their training for mentoring. Barakus is busy on Triforia, Grant is still in jail and Sasha is dead. We have a good portion of the old team though. IF only Andrew wasn’t off with the Zordonians," Kim said.

A few days later Dr. Cummings was watching a console in the War Room while Prof. Damon looked over some paperwork when the communications system signaled a transmission.

"Rangertech," Prof. Damon said. A Dark Brown haired male with hazel eyes appeared on the screen.

"Hi, the guys at the Triforian Academy forwarded my call to you. My name is Kevin Oliver."

"Kevin, where are you calling from?" Prof. Damon asked.

"Diatles. Before you ask I am related to Andrea Oliver. She is my sister. It’s very important that I get in touch with her," Kevin informed him a sense of urgency in his voice.

"Andrea and her team are off base right now helping another planet. Normally she could be contacted either here or at her house," Prof. Damon said.

"Where does she live when she’s on planet?" Kevin asked.

"She lives with my family," Dr. Cummings said as she looked up. "How permanent it will prove to be I don’t know."

"Kevin, what I’m going to do is transfer you to the Guardian Fortress on Minosia. That is where the team is," Prof. Damon said.

A couple hours later things got a little crazy. Prof. Damon has stepped out to use the facilities when a mysterious portal opened up. Dr. Cummings hit a button to set off an alarm. The alarm brought Tyra and Christine from the Lab and Prof. Damon from the facilities just as a Dark Haired Male exited the Portal.

"Well looks my ring still functions," he said.

"Robert, this is a surprise," Tyra said.

"Hello Tyra, kids doing ok?" he asked.

"Of course what brings you here?" she queried.

"I came to see Stephanie see how she’s been managing since Sue left," HE said.

"Stephanie is retired now. She retired shortly after the Demona Ranger’s first disbanded," Prof. Damon said.

"Nuts and Cashews," Robert said. "I knew news tended to move slow but not this slow."

Christine, Tyra, and the Professor had to chuckle a little but Dr. Cummings had a very confused look on her face.

"I’ll explain later," Tyra whispered to her.

"You know I was thinking of trying to send another ranger to the new team only it won’t be easy," Prof. Damon said.

"In what way Powermatic?" Robert asked a plan already forming in his mind.

"No ships available," the professor answered.

"I’ll deliver the new ranger to where ever we have to go on one condition. I get to pick out the ranger," Robert said.

"Deal," Prof. Damon said. "You might want to change your clothes before you actually go see him."

"Agreed," Robert said. "Let me first check for a suitable candidate."

A Minute later a picture of an African American male that was familiar to both Prof. Damon and Dr. Cummings appeared on screen. A screen of Information then appeared.

"OK I have my target," Robert said. He then lifted his arms up and hit a quick button. "Showtime Plastica Style."

Robert's outfit underwent changes. His shirt sleeves went to a lightish blue and a GSA insignia appeared on his left sleeve only his chest went completely light blue. Then a vest of greenish color appeared and his pants became a creamish white color and a pair of dark boots appeared where his shoes were. His own face became concealed by a dark eyeshield with a silver face area coupled with a series of dark slits near the mouth and a greenish area over the rear.

"Whoa, Now I think I know what is going on," Dr. Cummings said.

"Trust me he is an old friend," Prof. Damon said.

Robert then teleported about a block from the Youth Center. His first stop was a house a few doors down. A Tall African American man answered.

"May I help you?" He asked.

"I’m looking for Tyrone Coughlin. Official Business," Plastica said.

"He is at the Youth Center," Mr. Coughlin said. "IS he in trouble or something?"

"No he isn’t. I need his help for something," Plastica said as he turned toward the Youth Center. When he arrived he looked around and eventually came across a small workout room with a bunch of mats on the floor. Tyrone was in there working away on something. Plastica carefully walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. Tyrone then sent him flying only for Plastica to cheat and use his Eagle mode to recover.

"OK who are you and why are you here?" Tyrone asked him.

"Would you believe I’m known as Plastica. I have a proposition for you."

"Try another story hot shot. Plastica would never let me throw him. He’s too good for that. Besides last I knew he was dead."

"Yet I stand here as solid as even you," Plastica said. "How would you like to become a ranger."

"I’d like that only last I knew I kind of didn’t make the cut," Tyrone said.

"SO even Tiger Woods had been known to miss a cut or two," Plastica said. "Everyone deserves a second chance to do something and I’m giving you yours."

Meanwhile aboard the Venom a now refreshed Lord Xenon was looking over the Situation.

"Galactex, take a squad of Black Suited Xenonites and test those two," he commanded a hint of humor in his eyes and voice.

Galactex then teleported down with about a dozen Xenonites.

"This is not good. Really not good," Tyrone said as he sent a kick at one of the Xenonites.

"Trust me I’ve fought against tougher opponents," Plastica said.

"Yeah right. These things are practically the toughest thing around. Except for Gold Suited Xenonites according to my girlfriend," Tyrone said.

"Tyrone, I’ve been fighting bad guys since before your grandfather was born," Plastica gloated.

"My Grandfather is in his seventies," Tyrone said.

"Tyrone, if I was still truly alive today I’d be celebrating my Centennial come Christmas Eve," Plastica said.

"Whoa, that is unbelievable," Tyrone said as he sent a roundhouse kick at Galactex. "Couldn’t you manipulate a few mirrors and send these things packing."

"I’d prefer not to use that tactic," Plastica said as a couple platoons of Gold Xenonites along with Nightshade joined the battle.

"Tyrone my friend. Looks like things have gone from bad to worse," Plastica said.

Kim meanwhile was in the main area of the youth center talking to Matt while Kelly and the others were sitting at their old table.

"Kim, Plastica along with a civilian need back-up," Prof. Damon said.

"Where are they?" Kim asked.

"In the exercise room of the Youth Center," the professor responded.

"OK I know where that is," Kim answered.

"You’ll have to eclipse. I’m Teleporting Tyra and Christine back to the Bunker."

"Sounds good," Kim informed him as she made a winding gesture in the air.

The Rangers then regrouped around her. Soon as they were ready Kim barked out an old Command.

"Ranger Power Eclipsed. White Ranger Power." A Whitish Aura Formed around Kim and then the snake merged with her to form her White Armor. Her Armor had a Space Suit look to it in White but a lightish Blue Snake Patter went along her Back and the snakes head in the same Lightish Blue was along her Helmet. The Face Area was a solid Smoky Brown. The Gloves and Boots were a Silvery Color

"Red Ranger Power." Kelly was seethed in a red aura and the Dolphin swam up to her. When they were fully merged she was in her Red Armor. Like Kim’s it had a space suit look only the pattern in a Lighter red was that of a Dolphin with the Flippers along her arms.

"Yellow Ranger Power." Candi’s Aura was Yellow and her Spirit Animal a leaping lemur. When the mixing was complete she was the Yellow Ranger. Overall look was the same except for the Lemur appearance in a very light gray which went all along her armor.

"Purple Ranger Power." Janet was intermixed with a Purple Aura and a Mystical Owl ended up flying into her. Her purple Armor appeared after the Intermixing. Janet's suit was a little different since She had a Breastplate along her armor and the Wings of her spirit animal instead of being a mere pattern on her arms were a rigid wing on her rear attached to her breastplate. The wings resembled that of an owl.

"Green Ranger Power." For Jake a Mystical Dark Green Aura formed around him but allowed the Bull to Charge into him. The Combination of Aura and Spirit formed his Green Armor. Jakes armor looked somewhat similar to Magna Defenders except for the Helmet which was similar to the others and His Gloves and Boots were a goldish color.

"Brown Ranger Power." Sam stood by thinking of Grant as the Brownish Aura washed him over and the Mighty Hawk flew into his body. The sudden collision caused his brown armor to appear. His armor looked similar to his teammates with a grayish pattern of a hawk on his armor along the back and arms. Like Jake he had goldish colored gloves and boots.

"Orange Ranger Power." Fran was strong as she once again felt the combination of the Orange aura and the Noble Horse Forming around her body to become her Orange Armor. The hoof pattern in White on her fore arms and lower legs looked almost ridiculous next to her silverfish colored gloves and boots but that was only because of the horse pattern on her space suit like armor.

The Rangers then Ran the short distance to the Exercise Room.

"Well well looks like a Blast from the Past," Nightshade said. "I thought you all had retired."

"WE came back from retirement Nightshade," Sam screamed.

"Trust me you are going to regret it Brown Ranger."

"I don’t think so," Sam growled as he summoned his staff.

The Rangers split into groups as they then began beating the Super Xenonites up. Unfortunately the Super Xenonites were a little too much for them and Tyrone working without any kind of powers was really at a tactical disadvantage.

"Rangers retreat," Kim called out. The Entire group then teleported to the War Room. Plastica took the time to power down.

"Prof., those things are a little tough. Even Eclipsed we couldn’t take them out," Candi complained.

"I noticed your sister is working on it. Tyrone, you and Plastica will have to break off so you can prepare for your quest. The rest of us will handle things from here," Prof. Damon said.

"Professor, I think our only hope of defeating the Super Xenonites is to use pure energy weapons only. Unfortunately with both Brianca and Teri off planet we only have one ranger capable of utilizing pure energy weaponry," Christine said as she looked up from the console she was sitting at.

"In other words Sis I’m going to have to go into battle alone," Candi said.

"Not on your life. Both Eric and Aisha need you. Aisha more then Eric since I kept Eric and let Tyra have Aisha," Christine said. "We’ll have to come up with a plan so we can truly defeat these things."

"Christine, the other Rangers have been fighting these things for a few months now. I doubt we need to completely destroy them," Tyrone said.

"He has a point Christine, Our main concern should be fine tuning the powers and also reinforcing the zords since when he uses monsters they can be strong," Prof. Damon said.

"Trust me Professor the fine tuning will take time. The only thing is I doubt Lord Xenon will give us the time," Christine said.

"Evil Villains rarely do Christine," Robert said. "I’ve gone up against practically every major villain that used to plague the Universe, Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Divatox, Astronema, Dark Specter, Scorpius, Captain Mutiny, Trakeena, Lord Wieskoph better known to you all as the Dark Lord, Mechinack, Haradomous. Every one of them tended to be a tough character. Thankfully there was usually a ranger on hand to provide back-up."

"Robert, do you think Sue might be able to help us?" Tyra asked.

"The question is can I risk bringing her here to provide the back-up. So long as you, Janet, and Christine can get things in order I’m sure something can be worked out," Robert said.

"I doubt we will need the Ultima Ranger on this one. All we need is time. In the meantime two of us have to get on our way," Prof. Damon said. "Tyrone, take this along."

Professor Damon then tossed two Mahogany colored wristlets to the newest recruit. After a lot of fumbling he had the two wristlets on his wrists.

"Ring of Power, open a portal to the planet Phaedos," Robert commanded holding his ring out in front of him. A Portal then opened and Tyrone and Robert stepped through. Dr. Cummings was still trying to figure everything out.
